Narayanganj started its journey as a city corporation on Sunday with taking over charges by the newly-appointed administrator Mohammad Shah Kamal, also joint secretary of primary and mass education ministry.
Situated on the eastern bank of the River Sitalakhya Narayanganj was upgraded into a city corporation with merger of Kadamrasul municipality in Bandar upazila, Siddhirganj town and Narayanganj last month.
The announcement was made through a gazette notification by the LGRD ministry on May 5.
With publication of the gazette Narayanganj became the 8th city corporation of the country.
Though appointment of Shah Kamal as administrator of the city corporation was made on Thursday he attended his duty at Narayanganj City Corporation office on Sunday.
With taking over office by the administrator, Narayanganj ceased to exist as municipality and formally started its journey as city corporation, according to the local government administration rule.
The administrator will conduct policy-making and administrative activities of Narayanganj until a mayor is elected to the newly-declared city corporation.
However, most of the local representatives, including former ward councillors, elite of the city, businessmen and general public want an elected mayor and councillors run the city after holding of city corporation polls.
